2012 LEGO sets: LEGO Monster Fighters

During the recent toy fairs LEGO has introduced a new theme called LEGO Monster Fighters. The full plot of the theme is not yet known, but every one of the sets contains a moonstone the monsters are trying to collect to open up the portal to the monster world and unleash doom on Earth. Or something like that. 🙄

LEGO Monster Fighters is scheduled to be released in the summer of this year with some really interesting sets and unique minifigures. Check them out below! 🙂

➡ #9462 LEGO MONSTER FIGHTERS Mummy – Small set with a helicopter, a small carriage drawn by a glow-in-the-dark skeleton horse, and 2 minifigures: a mummy and Ann Lee, another explorer/monster fighter, who apparently like to use a cross-bow and keeps extra arrows tucked in her hair. 90 pieces. Price: $11.99

I’m more excited for this theme than Lord of the Rings! I can’t wait to get all of these and the Haunted House that I have confirmation from a LEGO store employee that it is part of the Monster Fighters theme. I’m also holding out hope for the zombie set that will be exclusive to the LEGO store.

Sarah, yes, there is a zombie set. I was debating if I should include it because the only thing I knew was the set-number, but no picture, no price, no details. So I decided to omit it this time until we have more info. I particularly like the cars in this theme, and gotta have those bats! 😀

Good point. Wait till we know more. I really like the cars, which is surprising since I haven’t liked most of the vehicles in the recent action releases. I could have lived without the Pharaoh’s Quest vehicles. But these look sweet!

Sarah, thanks! I added the price on the Mummy set as I didn’t have that one. All the other prices are from the Toy Fair, so they are officially from LEGO. As far as Glow-in-the-dark spiders, that would be totally awesome! I love glow-in-the-dark parts! 😀

These are kinda hit and miss for me. The castle, train, and hearse are all cool looking, and the rest are just ok. I am slightly disappointed that the monsters are only slightly redesigned from their previous appearances in the Collectible minifigures line.

Although, I have learned with Lego that you have to wait for the final product to be released before you can ultimately pass judgement on it.

Although I am getting the zombie from the hearse set one way or another!

Greg, the final design for the monsters that are from the Collectible Minifigures may not be final. It is very possible that LEGO used them for the Toy Fairs as a stand-in. I have seen box-designs change just before the release, so there is a possibility that these will still be refined. 🙂

Kings, most LEGO themes last one or two waves. As you said; these sort of themes don’t last long, and I don’t expect this to be any different. It is only the larger, broader themes (like City, Castle, Pirates, girl-sets, etc.) and the licensed themes last longer. 🙁

I am very pleased with the price-per-piece on these sets. The smaller sets look like must haves!
The moonstone thing reminds me of Atlantis in that they need six to open up the portal. Sound familiar?
Other than that I am very pleased with these sets, and I can’t wait until these become available!

Thanks for noticing that! This was the preliminary info, so perhaps there has been changes. I’m planning to write another post about Monster Fighters soon, so I will confirm the info and make necessary changes. 🙂

you guys forgot one more monster for the second wave, the boogey man hes like the second king of monsters. i think matheus is my cousin
ke agente e brazeilero e o meu primo e shamado matheus. also they should put goblins in it

The minifigs are a zombie bride, a zombie groom, the zombie driver (doing double duty from the Hearse set) and Jack McHammer. The set has two graves which burst open to release the zombies. Jack McHammer’s truck has a cowcatcher, side-mounted rotating hammers, and flick-fire missiles.
